JUDGE BUSH HANDS DOWN DECISION IN CASE OF PRINCIPAL AGAINST NEW SCHOOL BOARD HELD ATTENTION OF PUBLIC FOR WEEKS (Special To The Leader) Hopkinsville, Ky., Jan. 17.--Judge Bush's decision in the injunction suit of M. J. Sleet and Miss Annabel McReynolds, principal and teacher in the Booker T Washington school, against the recently elected board of education here last Friday has perhaps put an end to a case that has for several weeks held the attention of the Hopkinsville public as no other case of its kind in the history of the city. Trouble between Mr. Sleet and certain citizens had been brewing for many months. Charges of a certain nature were made against the principal and the teacher, and upon the election of the new board, their ousting was next in order. Mr. Sleet and Miss Reynolds filed injunction suits enjoining the new board from removing them, and the Judge's decision in the case follows:
